Reasons not to drink alcohol...tough mudder!

We drank on new years eve and made a resolution...to complete tough mudder. We started training January 1st, and today, in 13 degrees, torrential downpour, and gale force winds, we did it!! We actually did it!!

We've swam through icy water, climbed walls & wondered how (??), we trudged through mud & swamps, crawled through water filled tunnels (I have..no make that had, a fear of confined spaces), and crawled through electrical wires!! 20.5 km of offroad terrain with added obstacles designed by special forces!! 5hrs, & 2 friends who were told by lots of people, they couldn't possibly, did!! We have cuts and bruises and things hurt that we didn't know existed, we were close to hyperthermia...but smiling! Thanks Ket (the short gullible one who believed me when I said, its a "special run we could do") for stepping up!! & yes that's me in the before photo after we'd ran in the rain from the carpark trying to keep dry (??). Its not the best picture, but today, that's not that important. Just imagine complete mud everywhere...that was the after shot :)
